About this icon

Use the Caret Left icon

Icons in the outline style — like Caret Left — are designed for app navigation bars, toolbar buttons, form labels, and UI controls where clarity at 16–24px is critical. Use it across travel booking platforms, fleet management dashboards, logistics apps, ride-hailing UIs, and route planners for a consistent, professional look.

IconStash's editor lets you fine-tune color, size, and stroke width in real time, then export in the format that fits your workflow: SVG, PNG, JSX, or CSS background-mask.

Export formats

Copy clean SVG vectors with one click, generate custom-size PNG files from 16px to 512px, export JSX/React components ready to paste into your project, or use the icon as a CSS background-mask for flexible theming.

All exports are based on the same editable vector — so the Caret Left icon stays pixel-perfect at 16px, 24px, 48px, and any large marketing size.

Design & UX integration

Aesthetic characteristics

Phosphor draws Caret Left with a uniform stroke weight and generous curves. Its defining feature is a six-weight system — Thin, Light, Regular, Bold, Fill and Duotone — so one concept can carry an entire visual hierarchy without you switching icon families mid-product.

UX best practices

In booking, fleet and logistics interfaces, use the Caret Left icon as a supporting glyph beside a text label. Mode-of-transport shapes are genuinely ambiguous across regions — a "train" glyph is drawn differently in Europe, Japan and North America — so never let the icon carry the meaning on its own.

Use in your project

React / npm — Phosphor

npm install phosphor-react

import { CaretLeft } from 'phosphor-react';

// JSX usage:
<CaretLeft size={24} weight="regular" />

Copy the SVG markup directly from the IconStash editor to use the Caret Left icon without any npm package — paste it into HTML, JSX, or a design tool.
